The story
The Tedeschi family has been linked to Valpolicella for centuries: company records and accounts document winemaking activity as early as the 17th century, and the estate has progressively developed the concept of single-vineyard wines, vinifying parcels separately — such as Monte Olmi. Today the estate remains family-run and has complemented tradition with investments in vineyard zoning and collaborations with research institutes to better understand soils and micro-terroirs.
Production philosophy
Making wines that reflect a true sense of place: agronomic expertise, careful observation of the vineyard and respect for the land guide decisions in the vineyard and in the cellar. The winery combines traditional techniques with scientific research and practices aimed at environmental, social and economic sustainability.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Pedemonte di Valpolicella. The historic vineyards include Monte Olmi, Fabriseria and the Maternigo estate; the crus sit on hills with varied exposures and distinct soils that the estate has studied through zoning and soil characterization.
